<P>Start the computer in the safe mode.</P>

<P>Start, all programs accessories, comand prompt. Type</P>

<P>Restart the computer and allow this to run. When the computer starts, it should hopefully start in the normal mode.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>If not, then try running the full diagnostics. <A href="http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/document?c=us&amp;l=en&amp;s=dhs&amp;docid=A9E3A15597A04AFBB02EE16785D39C5C">How to Run the Dell™ Diagnostics Utility</A></P>

<P>Hi dennisdi,</P>
<P>Welcome to Dell Community emoticon.Smile.title</img></P>
<P>Have you tried going to the System Configuration Utility and changing the boot.ini by unchecking the checkbox labeled "/SAFEBOOT" &gt;then clicking on the General tab and setting it for Normal startup?</P>Mon, 19 Mar 2012 04:00:03 GMThttps://www.dell.com/community/Windows-General/my-windows-xp-is-booting-up-in-safe-mode/m-p/3805131#M348497Bugbatter2012-03-19T04:00:03Z
